I had a similar problem on my 88 Mustang GT.  I have Accel 8.8 Spiral Race
Wires (junk very high resistance and will be replaced in the spring) 
My timing light did not work and i borrowed a wire off a buddy's Chev 305,
and voila, timing light worked perfectly.  I thought it was the light, so i
bought another one...same prob, now i have 2 good lights, and still bad wires.
